Relinquishing the Expectations of Others

“We each have a unique set of gifts, and a particular contribution to make in the world. Our gift may be an unusual capacity to inspire others, an ability to change the way people think, or the devotion to nurture a student or a child. If we are continually trying to conform to the expectations of others, we never give ourselves the chance to manifest who we are meant to be.” Simon Hass – The Book of Dharma
